Application filed July at, 1am. Serial no. 653,541.

7'0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Conn L. SoovIL, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Aprons, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to certain improvements in aprons which may be readily and conveniently applied to or removed from the body.

The main purpose of my invention is to produce a very artistic apron by means of an exceedin ly sim 1e construction, which can be manu acture at a low cost and which is fastened in position by tying or pinning the meeting ends of correspondlng parts.

Inthe following description I shall refer v to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective front view of a person showing my apron in position; Fig. 2 is a pers ective rear view of the apron in the position it assumes when in position on a person Fig. 3 is a fragmentary illustrative view of the bust portion ofthe'apron showing the shoulder tie portions brought together in position to be tied over one shoulder; Figs. 4 and 5.are plan views of the two pieces which form the bust portion; Fig. 6 is a lan view of the semi-circular piece which orms the skirt ortion; Fig. 7 is an illustrative lan view 0? the completed apron to show the manner of sewing the parts together; and Fig. 8 is a side view of the apron when in position upon a person.

The construction of the a ron is exceedingly simple. being compose of only three parts, A, B and C shown respectively in Figs. 4,5 and 6. The parts A and B are identical in shape, but reversed in position. These bust portionsare shown as substantially triangular in shape, but it is evident that this shape may be varied considerably and I intend to cover such variations in my claim.

After the parts have been cut into the proper shapes, the lower edges are bound and. the upper straight edge ofthe skirt the bust portion A will project beyondthe other -side of the skirt portion to form a sash end A. In like manner the bust tion B is sewed to the top edge of the s irt portion, beginning at the right side and passing across behind the A portion, the end projectin beyond the left side to form a sash end B The upper ends of the bust portions form shoulder ties A and B respectively.

- The apron is secured imposition by first passing the sash portions A, B around the waist and tying the ends A -and B 5 together to form a bow at the back in the manner indicated in Fig. 2. The crossing bust portions A and B are then lifted into position, one of the shoulder ends being carried over the shoulder and around the back of the neck and tied with the other shoulder end into a bow over one shoulder, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2-.

The shirring of the upper straight edge of. the skirt portion causes the skirt to fall in graceful folds at either side and wlth the desired fulness. The bow at the shoulder not only serves to secure the bust portion in position but it also contributes to the artistic effect of the apron.

An apron comprising a s k1rt portion shirred along an edge constltutmg the waist line, and two su stantially triangularly shaped bust portions oppositely arranged front and smuredto sa1dshirred edge, said bust portions having proand crossing 1n jecting waist line portions forming sash ends ada ted to be tied together at the back of t e waist and projecting shoulder portions one of which. is adapted to pass around the neck and be tied over the shoulder to the other shoulder portion.

In testimony whereof I afiix m signature.
